Abstract
The integration of the US Army's existing combat modeling tool, JANUS(A), with the real-time three-dimensional graphics display offered by NPSNET is discussed. A scripting tool capable of rendering JANUS(A) scenarios previously executed in the traditional two-dimensional model is discussed. This replay capability allows the gamer/analyst the ability to watch the three-dimensional battle unfold from any position on the battlefield. Also, the implementation of a real-time, networked link from the two-dimensional JANUS model to NPSNET is detailed. This link involves an Ethernet connection from a Sun workstation, which houses the two-dimensional model, to a Silicon Graphics workstation used for rendering the real-time three-dimensional simulation.ETX
